I picked up two tall, ladder back chairs with rush seats.
Any ideas on how to refinish or paint the seats?

Best solution for rush or cane is to stain it. You can use a gel stain. You can also use spray paint. Several light coats will give a smooth finish. Depending on the condition you may need to use a spray primer

I would use Rit Dye to dye the rush seats using real hot water and a spray bottle. They have a large color formula chart on their website and lots of dIy instructions. https://www.ritdye.com/color-formulas/
